OUT next on POWER IT UP the longer than expected vinyl version from the GÄSTEZIMMER CD.
Almost 25 years of YACØPSÆ … Time for a tribute? Not at all! The band still like the AMEBIX slogan: “No gods, no masters”! Nevertheless, YACØPSÆ was always well-known for brewing out some freaky ideas (just check their huge output and you’ll know what we mean), so the concept of a “Guest room” EP was born, whilst we were hanging around somewhere and joking about how to celebrate the “next” anniversary! Actually, no big deal … Eventually, the band invited a bunch of different people from around the globe to “sing” for them. 15 tracks, each one lasting about 30 seconds, and placed twice (subdivided in two sides: male/ female). All participants had to create own lyrics and to record the vocals by their own. In addition, each person needed to write down a few neutral sentences about the very first encounter with YACØPSÆ, and sending a photo. Basically, the whole idea is not that new or original, though the list of our guests is impressive, so here we go:
01. Julia (BÄD INFLUENCE/ Germany)
02. Katja (VÖLKERMORD/ Germany)
03. Alexandra (CROWSKIN/ Germany)
04. Mareike (UNHOLY HANDJOB/ Germany)
05. Jess (4-LOM/ Canada)
06. Diana (URSUS/ Colombia)
07. Martina (AUNTY PANTY/ Canada)
08. Ami (VÖETSEK/ USA)
09. Athena + Jeff (VÖETSEK + CAPITALIST CASUALTIES/ USA)
10. Melanie (THRASHING PUMPGUNS/ Germany)
11. Sanja (DEPARTURE/ Germany)
12. Leonie (SVFFER/ Germany)

14. Sabina (HOLY MOSES/ Germany)
15. Peppels (STAHLSCHWESTER/ Germany)
16. Mirko (MONDIAL/ Germany)

30. Martin (EA80/ Germany)
Additionally, a bunch of 45 kids in the age between 3 and 5 years is singing “Brother Jakob” in five different speeches (German, English, French, Turkish, and Spanish). Think about where we got our name from, eh? Stoffel went to a friend’s kindergarten to organize the huge choir of cute and awesome kids, and to record the tracks, exclusively. The stuff will be used as intro, midtro and outro.
